On top of that, I felt the Honda’s shifter and engine just have a much more unique/exotic feel. I still believe that the next step up from the S is a newer Porsche Cayman/Boxster, or, in other words $10-$20k more in the used market.

Performance wise, the ND2 is pretty comparable to the AP1 by most straight line measures. Both have similar times to 60 (5.7 to 5.8 s), although the AP1 is faster in the quarter mile (14.2 @ 98) compared to ND2 (14.4 @ 96). Top speeds are similar. As for lap times, MT measured a faster time around Laguna Seca in an ND2 than an AP2 (1:48.5 to 1.50:7).

Another thing that should be noted hugely in favour of the MX-5 and S2000 is that their suspension setups are far more advanced and allow for full adjustment (caster, camber, toe), whereas the BRZ can only do toe without modification. I play around with my ND's alignment specs pretty frequently, and a few degrees here and there can make it feel like a completely different car.

Definitely doesn't mean you can't make a good handling car without double wishbone (as both the BRZ and Porsche have proven), but anything the BRZ can do the MX5 and S2k can do better

@@tommymello1693 I like to road-trip my cars, and the Miata is just too cramped for longer journeys, even for someone my size (5'7" 140lbs). I really always wanted Mazda to make a fixed top coupe like the M-Coupe concept. I think that Subaru/Toyota really did everything I wished Mazda had done. I purchased mine used but very low mileage and have built it out more unconventionally: I did some strategic sound deadening, added a nearly full suite of Cusco body braces, the leather dash panel, and the loudest TRD sound generator (who doesn't love some intake honk?) and made my personal touring car. It is totally stock looking outside.

Before the Government in UK + Japan bans new cars sales with ICEs by 2030, I really hope people appreciate and thank Toyota/Subaru + Mazda for building lightweight RWD manual cars at a relatively attainable price range. In the UK, these sorts of cars aren't as popular as the German hot hatchbacks with AWD and turbocharged engines - and I find it a shame that these 86/BRZ/MX-5s never really get the respect that they deserve, all because most people seem to care about straight line acceleration for that instant gratification, rather than learning the basic fundamentals of RWD driving techniques.

Coilovers, alignment, wheels, tires, and exhaust go a long way for that little car.

Miata for me. Lightest, convertible, still available for sale.

I just got a ND1 Miata GT and I am absolutely loving it. I long for work to end so I can hop into the cabin and take it for a spin. What I love most is how it feels to drive. The fact that I'm 5'8" but feel so big in it, the steering wheel and gauge placement, and the way you can see the fenders rise up all make me feel like I'm in a little British sportscar, but with the quality and finish of Japanese OEMs. I'm new to manual driving too, so I think this was also a great shifter for me to learn on. I was also looking at the 86/BRZ but I personally don't like the look of it. Didn't have the S2000 on the list at all, but I've heard that it's not a forgiving car so it would've been bad for a beginner like me.

hits the nail on the head with many of the RF comments. The first one was spot-on: "you either have leg comfort or back comfort". It is my only disappointment with the car. You can't get comfy!

Thank you for doing a proper POV video of the S2000. I owned an AP1 with similar mods and daily drove it for 5 years. It was great to hear again the fantastic sounds that made my day to say so enjoyable. I’d love to buy one again before they get too crazy expensive.

Looking forward to the launch

Im 19, about to turn 20, 6’1-ish, and a full time college student. I was between these 3 cars and chose a 2020 brz as my first car, and I don’t regret my choice. It’s comfortable for my size, and it drives great. Sure it’s painfully slow, but that helps keep me from wanting to drive reckless, and it is the right amount of practicality for what I need. My only regret is not getting the performance package, but I can always upgrade later on. Plus brembos are more expensive to maintain. My poor clutch was very forgiving in the first month of owning it, and the time after getting use to it has been extremely rewarding. Anyways, I just wanted to voice my satisfaction with the car, and how I strongly agree with just about everything this video stated about it.

Very nice comparison, I own a stock Toyota GT86 from 2019 and I m pretty happy with it! Practial, daily useable, fun to drive and moderate costs! I don t need to count seconds, just very good chassis and sportscar feeling, even if I ve to admit, that the look of the Miata RF is also wonderful, I still love the Brz and GT 86 looking awesome!

@@z32luvr certainly up there! But I’d still be willing to pay if I had the money. I’m in Australia and cheapest one is now 40k AUD, used to be 14k around 6 years ago haha

great video sir

This brings back memories!

That's a good garage. I also have a BRZ performance package as a fun daily and S2000 as weekend/track/more-hardcore car. We have an Accord for the times we need something more practical. It strikes a good balance.

Thanks for your video. I drove an s2000 for the first time the other day and all I can say is it transported my old soul into a 22 year old.

This is sick, I love my s2k

That brz is how 4 cylinder modified exhausts should sound like. No pops or bangs or raspy fart or trumpet sounds.

Great vid

Great video. I’m surprised at how low the sales figures are for the BRZ/86/Frs and the S2000. They are great cars. SuperspeedersRob had a different opinion on the S2000. Drew Peacock has a satirical opinion on the BRZ/86.

If you own anyone of these three machines, you’re winning. Kudos

Best sounding brz I’ve heard

I always wanted an s2000. Instead I bought an FRS and a Prelude This was a beautiful video

where was this filmed , the roads you were on are beautiful

Looking to get one of these for my first car. Aesthetics matter to me and I believe the Miata is the least attractive in that area. The S2000 seems so visceral to drive but I believe the BRZ looks the best. I wouldn’t mind putting in the work to supercharge the BRZ but the S2000 seems so raw and fun. I have a hard time really choosing between these. Would love your guys’ input.

Review of the S2000 was spot on.

Great Video

Great content

I noticed you didn't include the torque numbers for the BRZ in the description. Not enough dip?

when he said to take the s2000 out to get a coffee in the morning and to rev it up to 9000 it described basically every of my mornings if the weather allows it. Coffee got expensive :( started to brew by myself before the drive now i need to figure out how to make gasoline myself

What did you end up replacing your BRZ with? Is the Land Cruiser the daily now or?

I drive an Acura RSX with a few light mods that is a lot of fun. I've looked at all of these cars and drove two of them (BRZ, MX5). I didn't find them that much better to justify spending the money. I would love to be able to afford a good S2000 or Boxster S though. Thank you for the comparison it's awesome.

The S2000 man. Damn I want one

The fact a 20 year old Honda is still being compared to late 10's cars and still performing as good or better in most cases is crazy. Never selling mine.

I've driven my S2k daily since 2011. If I knew how much they'd be worth now, I'd likely not have but I don't regret it at all. Amazing car. Looks great, sounds great. Goes well for a NA 2.0. All round it's great, not too much to talk bad about at all

Man that S2000 sounds so fine and premium

Man i miss your old brz :(

When I was looking for a car in 2017 i tested a bunch of cars and it came down to S2000 and BRZ.. the brz is a good car, but that engine just didn't have it.. then i got into the S2000 and its just heaven! Its a 08 S2k so no 9k rpm, but its still awesome. Been daily driving it for 4 years and its mostly good..just the seats can suck for long drives and of course you cant haul big items. Anyways.. im babbling..this is a great video!

Anything Miata I watch especially the new ones. It just looks so much sexier.
